Oh man, oh man! I am so excited! Christmas is just around the corner. Hanukkah is currently happening. There are so many wonderful things, holiday-wise, going on! I work with the Girl Scouts (I’m a Daisy leader, in fact), and this weekend, we’re making ornaments and going to nom on some delicious cake balls. I’m excited, even though they’re calling for rain instead of snow.

The lack of snow is made tolerable by the amazing layouts I’m seeing in the gallery though. I’m amazed, each week, as I go in, and try and pick out just a few layouts that I just adore. All of you, those who share your layouts with us, are amazing, and create just the most beautiful layouts! Thank you!

Created by Tree City. Oh I love the Bokeh! Seriously adore the bokeh. Jealous of it as well, 😀

Created by missdamsel. I love the snowflakes down the sides! It adds such a beautiful contrast to the layout.

Created by jenevang. First I saw the beautiful amazing blend. And then the beautiful clustering. So absolutely gorgeous!

Good Morning, Gingerscraps fans! In the States, yesterday was Thanksgiving, the day of remembering all that we are thankful for.

We are so lucky to be a part of this world, one that allows us to connect with someone so easily via the internet. I’m so thankful that I have friends that I have “met”, and I love each and every single one of them. I’m quite sure you have friends you feel the same way about.

The Monthly Mix for November is “Friendship” and the Attitude of Gratitude buffet really just meshes so well. I decided to choose two buffet layouts and a third being from the Monthly Mix.

A beautiful timeline created by dodgeladee. I love the use of just the blues and the sunflowers!

Created by jbdolfin. I love the cluster work. It’s just gorgeous!

Created by chigirl. I just love the way the little banner word arts are used, and the amazing clusters!

In the States, the day after Thanksgiving is full of lots of frantic shopping and great deals! Everyone is exhausted, and in dire need of some coffee and sweet treats. Gingerscraps knows all about that, so we’re having a nice little sale to help give you that boost you might need!

I cannot wait to see what’s going to be for sale. I don’t know. I really don’t! I know some kits I’m dying to have, and I hope to see them in there!

There are a lot of sales going on! Not just the Coffee Shop. Lots of designers are having sales for this weekend, as well. Make sure you check them out!

There’s more to be grateful about! There’s a new FWP grab bag. This month, it was created by Terra, of Sugar Kissed Designs. It’s just beautiful!

It’s officially safe to start singing the Christmas carols, and blasting them through your speakers. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, let us know what you do! Maybe a designer will be able to fulfill your holiday wishes with a kit!

Oh my. Do I have so much to be thankful and grateful for right now. My son needed glasses. Have you ever priced those? I’m thankful that we have insurance that covered all but $5 of his exam. I wish it would have covered more for his glasses, but I am so thankful that I was able to get them for him. I am also so thankful for the friends that I have surrounded around me. Without them, I do not know where exactly I would be in life.

Speaking of friends, this week, a new monthly mix is being released. Inspired Designs, Kathy Winters, Pixelily Designs, Roseytoes, and Z Pink Boudoir Designs worked together on this amazing new collab! It is just perfect for all friendships.

The CT really loved playing with the kit. They were raving over it. You don’t have to take my word for it. Just look at some of the layouts they’ve created!
